  “I don’t care if she wants to be around you.”

  “Listen man, I appreciate you taking the time to check up on me, but I will be fine once I wrap my head around this.”

  “Do you need me to represent you? I heard they dragged you down to the police station.”

  “Yeah, I was hauled in, but I have been cleared of the charges. So thankfully I don’t need to hire you.”

  “I would have represented you for free, you know that.”

  “I know. A part of me is leery that you are being so nice to me. I know that sounds incredibly dickey.”

  Michael was kind of glad that Adam wasn’t a totally naïve idiot. This made setting him up to take the fall so much more satisfying.

  “I understand that. I would be leery too.”

  “Why are you being so nice to me?”

  “At first I liked your music and I was looking for someone to give support to for my firm’s foundation. But the more I get to know you, the more I like you.”

  “You are not going to start hitting on me or anything like that.”

  Michael started to laugh. “Well, if I was so inclined to swing that way, I would certainly hit on you, but since I’m not gay you are safe.”

  “That is a relief,” Adam chuckled.

  “Nicole told me they made you look at crime scene photos. I could go after them for harassment.”

  “Nah, don’t do that. They were just doing their job. But I wish I didn’t see those photos. The way Mindy was murdered…why did whoever did that have to make her suffer.”

  Michael took a measure of pride watching Adam’s reaction to seeing those photos. He wanted that bitch to suffer.

  “I know it’s hard, but try not to think about those photos. She got herself mixed up with the wrong people and she paid the price. I’m just sorry you had to be hurt by this. Just thank God you weren’t in that apartment when all of that happened.”

  “A part of me is very grateful for that. Yet, a part of me wondered if I was there could I have stopped it.”

  Michael wanted to tell him that if he was there that bitch wouldn’t have died. He could have killed his victim he originally planned to do.

  “You would have just ended up dead too.”

  “I have a personal question for you. Do you have any feelings for Nicole?”

  “Why would you ask me that?”

  “It’s just that when she speaks your name she lights up. I think she really likes you and I don’t want to see her get hurt.”

  “What is it between you and her? You two barely know each other.”

  “She is a sweet person. She has been so nice to me I’m just returning the favor.”

  Michael didn’t want to tell Adam anything. Yet, with Nicole wearing her emotions out there for everyone to see it would be hard to keep their relationship completely private. Luckily, Nicole only hung around her roommate and Adam. Michael could easily kill the roommate if he had to and since Adam would be taking the fall for everything there was really no harm in telling him.

  “Nicole and I have started a personal relationship, but I asked her to keep it private. I can’t have people at work thinking she got that job because she is fucking me. It would hurt her career.”

  “I understand. I knew something was going on between you two. Dude, that woman is in love with you so you be careful not to break her heart.”

  “Come on, I will go buy you a beer and we can shoot some pool or something. You need to take your mind off of everything.”

  “That sounds good.”

  Michael found it sometimes frustrating to be around Adam. The guy, in his opinion, was way too nice. He wanted to ask him if there was a small part of him that was happy Mindy was brutally murdered. Yet, he knew that Adam would be offended by the question.

  The whole time they were at the bar Adam tried to be pleasant company but he was wallowing in this whole thing. Michael wanted to shake him and tell him to just snap out of it. Brutality didn’t faze Michael at all, hell he relished it. He doubted Adam could hurt anyone, unless of course it was to help someone he cared about.

  By time Michael got back to his apartment after dropping Adam off, Michael was exhausted from keeping up the façade of normalcy.

  Chapter Eight

  Nicole headed into work. Emily greeted her nicely like she always did. This morning was the first time Nicole really noticed that Emily was a very pretty woman. She couldn’t help but wonder if Michael had fucked Emily. She did her best not to let her jealousy show.

  She went to her office and put her stuff away. Today she was going to court with Michael to watch him work. She was really excited about this even though it was an armed robbery case and pretty much cut and dry. Mr. Lee was looking at seven to ten years in prison. Michael was going to try and get him three years with two years probation.

  She felt her body become aroused hearing Michael’s footsteps. She waited a couple of minutes then headed into his office.

  “Hello, Nicole,” Michael said as he put some papers into his brief case.

  Nicole saw the cup of coffee sitting on his desk. Emily always had a cup of coffee waiting for him. Her jealousy ignited.

  “What’s wrong, Nicole?”

  “Can I ask you a question?”

  “Of course you can.”

  “Have you fucked Emily before?”

  “Are you jealous of Emily, Nicole?” Michael knew the answer to the question, she looked angry. He had to admit she looked really cute when she was mad.

  “That depends on your answer.”

  “No, I haven’t fucked Emily before, nor would I want to. She is a married woman.”

  “Oh…I didn’t know that.”

  Michael stood and walked over to her. He began undoing his tie. “And if I would have fucked her what would you have done?” He moved closer to her.

  “I don’t know.” She knew that look in his eyes. Her pussy moistened in anticipation. “Wait,” she quickly said.

  Michael started to laugh when she took off her panties and tossed them aside.

  “I know you said not to wear panties around you, but I would feel weird not wearing any to work.”

  “That’s okay, Nicole. Now come here.”

  She moved closer to him.

  He grabbed a hold of her and kissed her hard then he pushed her down on to the chair. He grabbed her arms and pulled them behind her. He used his tie to tie her arms together.

  “Now, you are at my mercy.” He walked around to the front of her. “Are you scared?”

  “Why would I be scared of you? I know you won’t hurt me.”

  Michael squatted down and looked her in the eyes. “We haven’t known each other that long, Nicole. I could be a serial killer.”

  “I trust you.”

  “You shouldn’t give your trust away so easily.”

  “We are lovers why shouldn’t I trust you.”

  He ran his hands up her thighs moving her dress. He pulled her a little forward and opened her legs wider. He stuck two fingers up her pussy.

  “Mmm, you are nice and wet for me.” He pulled his fingers out and stuck them in his mouth. She tasted really good. He looked at her bound and helpless. For a brief moment he pictured his countless victims bound before him. The fear in their eyes, and yet looking at Nicole’s eyes there was only arousal. She didn’t fear him at all. A part of him wanted to see the fear in her eyes…he pushed those thoughts away.

  He lowered his head down between her legs and lapped at her pussy. She squirmed in the chair.

  “Michael…” she moaned.

  He lapped feverishly at her clit until he felt it pulsate against his tongue. He raised his head up and looked at her. There was a slight flushed to her cheeks. Her eyes were filled with pleasure. He loved a woman’s eyes. Everything he did to a woman showed in her eyes. Again the images of his past victims begin to fill his thoughts. The need to see that look in her eyes…he closed his eyes and centered himself.

  He slowly opene
d his eyes and reached behind her and undid the tie releasing her arms. He stood lifting her up then bent her over the desk. He quickly undid his pants.

  “Wait,” she said breathily.

  She stood straight and turned around then slowly came down to her knees before him. She grabbed his cock and swallowed it to the hilt. She slowly sucked on him. He grabbed handfuls of her hair as he began to thrust. He looked down and watched his cock going in and out of her mouth.

  “Do I taste good, woman?”

  She moaned as she took his cock to the hilt again.

  “I will take that as a yes. You better slow down or I will come in your mouth. I want to fuck you, woman.”

  She sucked for a few more moments and let his cock pop from her mouth. She slowly stood then turned around and bent over the desk.

  He grabbed her hips and drove his cock deeply into her. He thrust hard and brutal. He didn’t have time to leisurely fuck her. He kept thrusting until they both came. He eased his cock from her and pulled up his pants.

  “Go freshen up in the washroom.”

  “Yes, Sir.”

  He smiled. God, he loved when she called him Sir. When she was finished freshening up he went into the washroom and did the same. He came back out. He scooped up her panties that were on the floor. He tossed them at her.

  “You wouldn’t want to forget those.”

  They both chuckled as she put her panties on.

  “We better head out before we are late to court. This isn’t going to take long. You might want to stay here.”

  “I want to see you in the courtroom. Please let me go with you.”

  “Alright, Nicole.”

  Emily walked up to Michael. “Did you read the newspaper? They caught that serial killer they were hunting. They are bringing him back to Chicago for trial.”

  “I haven’t had a chance to read the paper. Well, maybe that fucker will hire me to represent him. That would be interesting. Emily, I was just telling Nicole about your pretty wedding band set. Why not show it to her.”

  Nicole was taken aback for a moment and quickly recovered when Emily proudly showed off her wedding band set.

  “They are lovely. How long have you been married?”

  “Going on ten years.”

  “We better head to court, Nicole. Emily, hold down the fort.”

  “Yes, Sir.”

  Nicole followed Michael to his car. Once they were inside she turned to him.

  “Why did you have Emily show me her wedding ring? She will probably wonder what is up with that.”

  “You were jealous of her and I wanted to show you I spoke the truth about her being married. And no, she won’t wonder anything. She will think it’s sweet that you wanted to see her rings.”

  Michael listened to Nicole go on about what happened to Adam. He told her about him spending time with Adam last night, which made her very happy, like he knew it would.

  They headed into the courtroom where Mr. Lee was waiting. Nicole felt sorry for him, he looked so nervous. Of course, if he didn’t rob that liquor store while he was drunk as hell, he wouldn’t be in this predicament.

  As the prosecutor presented his case Mr. Lee looked like he was about to throw up.

  “It’s okay, Samuel. I told you the worse you will get is three years in the county jail then a few years probation.”

  “I hope you are right. They are pushing for seven years in prison.”

  Nicole watched Michael plead Mr. Lee’s case. He was so charming and engaging with the jury. Michael emphasized that Samuel had no prior convictions, that he didn’t discharge his weapon and that he was severely intoxicated at the time of the crime. He asked for leniency from the jury.

  After both sides pleaded their case the jury went to deliberate. It only took an hour for them to come back with a verdict. They gave Samuel, three years in the county jail with two years probation. Michael smiled at the jury then shook Samuel’s hand.

  Nicole was in awe. The prosecutor’s case was compelling, but Michael’s was more so.

  “I don’t want to see you again, Samuel,” Michael said.

  “Oh, you won’t. Thank you.”

  The court guards took Samuel away.

  “I like the way you are looking at me, Nicole.”

  “You were amazing.”

  “Well, I wouldn’t go that far, but thank you.”

  “You were comfortable and sure of yourself.”

  “You helped get Samuel a lighter sentence, Nicole. Your thorough research made my job easier.” He smiled seeing a slight blush come to her cheeks. “You are uncomfortable with compliments?”

  “I’m not use to them.”

  “Get used to it, woman.”

  They left the courtroom and headed back to the office. Emily looked excited.

  “Well, I’m intrigued about what has got you so excited,” Michael said.

  “You know that serial killer case, well, guess who wants you to represent them.”

  “You are shitting me.”

  “Nope. Mr. Smith is too scared to take the case on and is leaving it up to you.”

  “Well, Nicole, looks like we have a real challenging case on our hands.”

  “You are going to take a serial killer’s case? I read about what he did to his victims….”

  “Everybody deserves a fair trial, isn’t that what you have said to me.”

  “Yes.”

  “Well, set things up to meet with…what is his name?”

  “Johnny Turner,” Emily said.

  “Set things up. I’m curious to see if he proclaims his innocence or takes ownership for it.”

  “What if he is innocent?” Nicole asked.

  “That is what you and I will find out, Nicole. If this case is going to be too much for you I can have Jerry’s paralegal help me out, that of course means you will have to help Jerry out during this.”

  “No, I will help you. I can handle this.”

  “Come to my office, Nicole.”

  She followed Michael into his office.

  “If at any time it gets to be too much dealing with this case I want you to tell me. These kinds of cases are hard. You will know every detail about every murder he is charged with and I guarantee if Johnny did this we will find out about more of his victims they don’t know about yet.”

  “I want to help you. I want you to see that I can do my job no matter what.”

  Michael pulled her into his arms. “Promise me if I think it’s getting to be too much for you that you will step back from it. I don’t want to see you overly distraught.”

  “I promise.”

  There was a knock on the door. They step out of each other’s embrace. Michael went to his desk and sat down on the chair. “Come in.”

  “Sorry, I don’t mean to interrupt, but I want to make sure that you are taking the case before I call the jail.”

  “Yep, I’m taking the case.”

  Emily left the office.

  “I would bend you over this desk and fuck you hard, Nicole, but I’m afraid we have too much work to do.”

  “Then why did you mention it?” Nicole felt her pussy moisten at the thought of his cock pounding away at her.

  “To tease you.” Michael smiled devilishly.

  Chapter Nine

  Nicole ate the brownie Monica made for her. She was visiting with Monica at the bakery shop she worked in.

  “I’m glad you finally stopped in and watched me create my hip expanding creations,” Monica said.

  “If I eat too many of these delicious brownies my hips will certainly expand. This is a cute shop.”

  “Isn’t it. The owner was talking about selling this shop to me after a graduate. I’m so freaking excited.”

  “That is cool news. Why didn’t you tell me about this earlier?”

  “I just found this out this morning, which makes your visit perfect timing.”

  Nicole visited with Monica for about an hour, letting Monica relish in her good news. Nicole was
so happy for her. Afterwards, Nicole headed to the Tears & Beers bar for lunch. She didn’t really want to go back to the apartment alone. Tomorrow Michael and she were interviewing Johnny Turner. Michael insisted that she take today off and hang around with her friends. Since Monica and Adam were her only two friends in Chicago it wasn’t going to take long to do. She wanted to help Michael at work, but he used his boss card to insist that she take today off. It was sweet that he was thinking about her well-being, so she didn’t want to be too big of a bitch about it.

  She sat at one of the smaller tables. She loved the burgers here.

  “Hey, little Nicole.”

  “Damn, you scared me,” Nicole exclaimed as she nearly dropped her burger.

  Adam sat on the chair across from her. “Michael give you the day off?”

  “Yep. We have a big day tomorrow.”

  “I heard he is representing Johnny Turner. Michael is tougher than I am. I sure the hell wouldn’t want to be in the same room with that Johnny. Oh shit…you aren’t going to be around that dude are you?”

  “Well yeah, it’s my job.”

  “Michael is cool with that?”

  “No, not really, but he is letting me make that decision for myself. I’m really glad he is. I am an adult,” Nicole said in a slightly defensive tone.

  “Hey now, don’t get your panties in a twist. Michael is your man, I am sure he wants to protect you, is all I’m saying.”

  “I know. I’m sorry for getting a bit defensive. It’s just…I’m so grateful Michael is nothing like Nathan. You want to have lunch with me?”

  “Sure. I got a few minutes. Is that why you chose this place to have lunch?” Adam smiled brightly at her.

  “Yep. I was hoping you were here. How are you doing?”

  “I’m tough I can roll with the punches. Though I have to admit Mindy’s murder was almost a knockout punch. You seem happy with Michael.”

  “So far so good. But remember Michael wants to keep our relationship private.”

  “I know he told me.”

  The waitress brought Adam over a burger. She flirted shamelessly with him, yet he was oblivious to it.

  “When are you and your band playing?”
